Highly-rated overnight sitters - Tajique
“Rosalia gave our dog excellent care and lots of attention. We received plenty of updates so we were always comfortable our dog was doing well. We found Rosalia to be very responsive and flexible and are happy to be booking with her again for a much longer trip.”
“Jessie took great care of my dog and kept me updated daily. She even gave my dog a bath and got food for him when he ran out. She has the perfect yard for a dog tonrun around in.”
“My pup had a great time with Josie, her husband and especially their dog Paco. I got daily pictures and updates so that I never had to worry 🥰 Our dog needs daily medicine and they had no problem making sure she got it, they were even able to get around her pill defenses by putting it in cream cheese (a new trick I'm definitely adopting)! I was especially happy to hear how well our dogs got along and that lots of play and tug of war sessions were had 😄 Pepper was treated like family and we'll absolutely rebook next time we have to go away.”
“Dropped my dogs off for a night and Karen kept in contact, giving us updates. We will definitely be using her again soon. She is so nice! We highly recommended her!”
“Anne took great care of my two dogs while I was out of town. She is a passionate dog lover and it definitely showed through her daily updates and pictures. I will book again!”
“Cindy was very responsive and super kind. So glad she was able to open her home to Massimo for his stay. We definitely will use her support again when we need it.”
“Stephanie was great with my Poochie. She took care of him as her own. He seemed to be comfortable and at home while being watched, which gave me peace of mind, I will be using her again my next weekend out of town! 🥰”
“Courtnay took great care of Tina over the weekend while I was in a conference. I loved getting all the pics and communications about how she was day to day. I Highly recommend Courtnay!”
“Debbie took great care of my fur baby. I appreciated that she accepted on short notice. It was a short stay but it was nice knowing Zipper was in good hands”
“Joshua is great. He's a natural with dogs, and it's obvious he loves them! I HIGHLY recommend Joshua and his home for extended boarding. He has a very large yard for play, and the dogs love it! I travel a lot, and I will be using Joshua every time. My puppy, Mocha, made a new friend with Joshua's dog, Blitzen. Immediately, they became friends and were inseparable for seven days. Thank you, Joshua!!! My wife and I are very grateful for the care you gave Mocha!!!”
“My biggest grudge is when someone expresses when they only gave one star " cuz they couldn't give any less"... When do we support local business and recognize our community for the good that surrounds us? !!! Recognize beauty people!!!!! This man is the real thing; a dog whisperer through and through. Incredibly kind, greeting my pup with a treat at first meet. Communication is HUGE for me. Pics were shared - almost immediately - and direct messages were alleviating. We all want to know our loved ones are in the best care. Michael is communicative, engaging with the guests, and truly, one of a kind. I'd book him immediately, if he doesn't forget my little girl...”
“Onrae and his family took great care of our dogs at his place while we were out of town. We received photos and updates daily. One of our dogs needed socialization and obedience training and that was done at extra expense, since he is also a dog trainer by appointment. We would be happy to use his services again!”
“The best sitters! They are wonderful caregivers and provide awesome photos and reassurance for the families. Our canine family member will stay with them as much as circumstances permit.”
“Emily and her family were absolutely wonderful with Mr. Elwood. She was incredibly communicative, providing daily photos and status updates that kept my mind at ease. When Mr. Elwood faced some minor challenges, Emily handled them with grace and expertise, ensuring he remained safe and happy throughout. I’m so grateful for their support during my business travels. Highly recommended!”
“Lorenzo is great with my dogs. My boys are lowkey annoying and very energetic and they always come home tired! They are also always excited when I drop them off and that makes me happy. I will for sure keep using Lorenzo.”
“This is the second time we leave Tessa with Wendy and it was also a great experience. Wendy is very communicative and sends lots of pics of Tessa enjoying with her and her kids. She also takes Tessa to dog parks and on walks so she can get her exercise. We recommend her :)”
“Holly and Robert’s place is the best! They are super attentive to all dogs under their care and treat each dog like a member of their family. They are major dog lovers and take the time to learn about your dog before boarding. They are very knowledgeable about dogs and I felt super safe leaving my dog in their hands. My dog had a 15 night stay at their place and he had the best time- he even made a new friend! We were provided photos and updates every day. It truly felt like I was leaving my dog in the trusted hands of a family member!”

Jennifer left our home neat and cleaned up (cat dishes, litter box etc) and followed all instructions. I highly recommend Jennifer and Felix will see her again, I am am sure! Thank you Jennifer!!”
About: I love pet sitting for cats because every cat has its own unique personality, and I enjoy getting to know each one. Caring for cats is rewarding because I can provide them with attention, companionship, and a comfortable routine while their owners are away. I am patient, reliable, and attentive to their needs, whether that means feeding them, cleaning litter boxes, playing with them, or simply giving them a quiet space to relax. I enjoy making sure cats feel safe, happy, and well cared for, and I take pride in treating every pet as if they were my own
“Rita was amazing! I have a diabetic cat, and this was the first time I left her with a sitter. Rita completely put my mind at ease. She sent me twice daily updates and pictures. She was knowledgeable about giving my cat her insulin injections, and she took perfect care of my cat while I was gone. I 100% recommend Rita, and I look forward to booking with her again.”
“Danny did a great job taking care of our home, adult cat, and kitten. I’m not sure the cats even noticed we were gone, and the house was in a better state than we left it. Our time away was so much more enjoyable knowing they were in good hands. We really appreciated the check-ins and pictures. We’ll definitely use Danny again the next time we travel.”
“Hutch was a wonderful kitty sitter, especially considering Pumpkin was just a kitten! She was very courteous of our home and sent us daily pictures. 5 starts for sure! Thank you again Hutch!”

“Shantae was awesome! Filled in last minute to watch my cat and took wonderful care of her. She sent plenty of pictures/updates and returned the house in immaculate condition. Highly recommend her!”
“Tammy and her husband did a great job of taking care of our pets, even during an ice storm. She also reached out to us during a power outage with questions. Would be happy to have her come by if/when we go away again.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little. Neighbors, family and friends all relied on me to walk, feed and play with their pets. Im currently working part-time. I’ll be happy to play with your pups! I’m available any day of the week after 3pm. Sunday and Monday I have all day availability. I have a fully fenced backyard with two friendly dogs to keep yours company. I can easily crate your dog if needed or roam freely in the house.
About: I have been obsessed with cats since I was a little kid. My parents never let us have one (we had LOTS of other animals) and I have had two cats of my own as an adult (Desi, abyssinian and Duque, tuxedo) and I have house sat for MANY cats, kittens and special-needs kitties over the years. I can give cats medicine with a pill dispenser and I can give space of affection, depending on personality. I'm a huge fan of Molly DeVoss and listen to her podcast, Cat Talk Radio, regularly.
About: I've taken care of animals almost every kind since I was a young child. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have a part-time job almost every night. I'm free every morning until 3:00pm. I'm free on Tuesday and Sunday all day for you're pet care needs. I have a friendly two year old dog that I have had since she was a puppy. We both live in apartment so crate training and potty training was a must.
“Marcus is kind and caring. We had him for drop in visits for our 2 cats while we were out of town. He did everything we asked and was very trustworthy and responsive.”
About: I have a passion for high-frequency experiences and environments as well as spreading positive energy wherever I go! Because animals are naturally more connected to existential energies, I find that spending time with them helps keep my frequency high and I can be of better service to the Collective! They have so much to teach us when we tune in... As owner of my previous pet sitting business, daily responsibilities included scheduling client visits, creating/sending invoices, walking/playing with dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, and personalities, as well as other types of interesting creatures, cleaning up after them, feeding them, overhauling litter boxes, occasionally administering medications, and regularly communicating with clients regarding daily visits with their pet(s). When clients were away, I spent the night in their home with their pet(s), took out/brought in trash cans, mail, packages, alternated lights in the home, watered plants, gave the appearance that the home was occupied to increase security, and anything else asked of me within reason. Let me know what you need and we can work together to create a mutually beneficial plan! I look forward to meeting you and spending time with your furry family members! I will stay in your home with your pets where they are comfortable and familiar. All instructions will be followed regarding the safety of your pet(s) and I will be in contact immediately should anything unexpected occur.
About: I have always been an animal lover. I volunteer my time through BernCo and Eastside Animal shelters. I do this because it recharges my soul. I have experience in puppies and seniors. I get on their level. Look them in the eyes and tell them how great they are. I never rush meeting a new pet. I make sure they know me before thier parent just leaves them. I try to get one on one time first. A short walk. A belly rub. A snack or two ...and always smell like bacon. I have an open schedule. Very flexible with my time. I do not pet sit multiple families at one time. My time is for your pet I use puppy pads for my fosters until they have learned to dig it from my other dogs. I follow the owners schedule. I'm there for you and your pet
About: Throughout high school, I would watch many of my neighbors dogs routinely. I also have done housesitting for my friend and his cat in more recent years Taking care of a pet is a big responsibility. Whatever schedule the pet needs, I adhere to and base my schedule around that. I am flexible and willing to work with you Caring for someone else's pets, to me, is about learning their habits. Rather than coming in with my own way of doing things, I try to follow the owner's instructions because animals like routine and dependability.

My pets are both indoors at night and in their dog run daily.
“Melissa and her sweet family took such great care of my high energy dog. Not only did she send a ton of adorable pictures of the pack exercising & snuggling, but from the moment she greeted my dog, I could tell she was in good hands. I definitely will be using her services again, my dog came home super tired and looked so happy throughout the day! Thank you Melissa!”

Sandia loved playing in the backyard with Cindy’s other dogs. She was so at ease during drop-offs, giving me peace of mind that she felt safe in Cindy’s home. Thanks again :)”
“I met Elaine and her doggies about a year ago. My dogs finally stayed at her house for four nights last month, and then for one day last week. My dogs had already met her dogs a year ago, and when they met up again, they were like old pals. No growling or hassling. It was perfect! I got daily updates and pictures from Elaine. It was so comforting! And my dogs did great at her house and with her dogs, and it was just the best! I booked a full-day stay last week, and they were literally going INSANE when we were driving into her neighborhood. That tells me a lot about their experience there! They love going to Elaine's house! Our next booking is during the Christmas-New Year's Eve time frame, and my dogs are already so excited, and Elaine has let me know that so is she, and she's gearing her doggies up for a week-long visit :-) My neighbors/friends that used to keep them all the time are moving back to NJ, so this is exactly what I needed at this time in my life. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dogs at Elaine's, whether it's for a day or a week! This is the best thing EVER!!!!”
“Josie, her husband, and Paco took great care of my Pip while we were vacationing in ABQ. Having Pip go over to her house allowed us to get some hikes, bike rides, and brunches in without having to worry is our young, energetic dog was being destructive or bored at the Airbnb. Highly recommend, and will definitely request Josie again when we return.”

About: Ever since I was young, I have loved being around animals and helping take care of them, especially dogs. Watching dogs has always come naturally to me because I am patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. What makes me different from other dog sitters is that I treat every dog like they are my own by giving them attention, affection, exercise, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has a different personality and needs, so I take the time to get to know them and build trust. My love for animals motivates me to provide the best care possible and create a fun, caring environment for every pet I watch. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and have a flexible schedule that allows me to give them the attention they need. I am organized and responsible, so I can easily plan my days around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping them on their normal routine as much as possible. I provide fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention and affection. I also make sure pets get plenty of exercise and companionship so they stay happy and relaxed while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I respect their space and carefully follow any instructions they leave regarding feeding schedules, medications, routines, or special care needs. My goal is always to create a calm, caring environment where pets feel comfortable and well cared for.
“I’ve been working with Erich for the past week, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! He has been a huge help in improving my dog Cosmo's behavior on walks. Erich has gone above and beyond in not only walking Cosmo but also helping with little training moments that have already made a noticeable difference. He’s incredibly communicative and always keeps me updated, which I really appreciate. It’s clear he genuinely cares about Cosmo’s well-being. I’ve loved working with him and will definitely continue scheduling with Erich moving forward!”
About: I have had animals my whole life, and have worked in the pet industry for 6 years. My day job experience has been at 2 different local pet food stores, where I’ve learned a lot about the needs of dogs and cats, as well as body language. My old job had foster cats, so I have experience taking care of up to 10 cats at a time (feeding, litter cleaning, meds, and playtime). I also have pet sat for many of my friends and family members. I love walking! I enjoy taking my own dog on short walks or really long walks to get his energy out. I have experience with high energy dogs that may pull or not be comfortable around other dogs or people. I also have experience with puppies and kittens, and special needs pets. I’ve owned 2 disabled dogs that required diaper changes, meds, and regular bathing and cleaning up after them. I am currently going to school full time at UNM. My schedule is pretty flexible though, and I am willing to work with you! I can come before, in between, or after class and on weekends! I will always want to come meet you and your pet before I start the service. I will take notes on everything so I can keep your pet on their routine, no matter how specific. I want to make you and your pet 100% comfortable! I am experienced with reading body language with pets, so I can tell if your pet is too overwhelmed or nervous. I also love sending updates, including photos and videos, to let you know how your fur baby is doing!

“Svetlana was punctual and great with our dogs. I loved the updates and photos she sent during their walks. We appreciate having her nearby and potentially available even for last minute care or walks.”
About: Now serving the greater Albuquerque Area! To all of my Utah clients, I miss your pups 💜 I moved to Albuquerque in September 2023. When I moved to Utah, by myself, in January 2023, I got lonely and craved animal connection, so I began with Rover. It has been such a great thing in my life. I hope to continue my services in New Mexico. I now have 2 pups of my own, but my partner cares for them when I am sitting. I will never bring them to a sit unless prior meeting and permission of the owners. Bloopers and Scub are young, big, lover boys with a lot of energy. They LOVE other dogs. Sophie, my senior pup, had to be put down before I moved to Utah. I cared for her heart and kidney failure for 3 years. I am experienced with senior pups and can handle all the way down to puppies, too. I love cats. I am also a trained bird handler. I have pet sit for my professors and coworkers before, from hunting lab puppies to senior Maltese. Since moving to Utah at the beginning of the year, I have house sat, done drop-ins, and walks. I have house sat for all kinds of pups from labs to yorkies, goldendoodles to bulldogs. I work a very flexible full-time, telework option, job. I can check/walk in morning, lunch, dinner and through the night if needed. Week days and weekends. I have extensive experience giving pets drugs and other heath needs. I can do any form of exercise or travel needed. I will always double check doors are locked and secured.
About: Hello my name is Shantae I work from home and I have a young son who will be with me most the time during walks/ drop ins or overnights. He loves all animals as much as I do. I currently have 4 dogs who are great with all dogs big and small but they will be at home for the most part if I’m doing drop ins or walks. I have experience with all types of dogs. I’ve had dachshunds, pit bulls and beagles. Ive watched just about every size of dog there is from Great Danes to chihuahuas and many miniature breeds. I also provide baths for dogs if you give me notice. I look forward to meet you and your pet. Thank you for your time.
About: I worked at the Albuquerque BioPark zoo for 5 years taking care of many types of animals. My time there has made me passionate about providing the highest quality animal care and enrichment. I make it my goal to give your pets a stay-cation while you vacation or work! I have worked with dogs and cats of all ages, and also small animals, birds, and barn animals. I am especially good with elder pets and am familiar with their mobility and medication requirements. I currently dog-walk and pet-sit full time so I’ll be able to provide lots of care and attention during the day/evenings. I usually only leave the pets for a few hours at a time and can adjust this to fit your schedule. I usually do not care for pets in my home. I believe that by staying in your home and keeping pets in their usual routines, they thrive the best.
About: I've been taking care of my dogs/cats since I could walk. Started walking the neighborhood dogs at 14 and everyone loved it. I would house sit, including bathes and any medicine, for everyone's dogs when they needed me to. I will be a full time student and have a full time job. However I plan to be able to walk dogs between school and my job everyday if I can. I can be available weekends during the day. Tues through Thurs nights are my nights off and I will be at to stay at the house as long as needed for whatever care is needed those days after class. I unfortunately can't host pets due to living in an apartment. I will make sure your pets get enough enrichment, exercise, and cuddles/pets. I will be willing to bathe and or medicate animals if needed. I will clean up after the animal. I regularly take care of an elderly dog who gets medications twice a day and have experience with medicating cats as well. I work a full time job and do full time school. I will be able to check on any dogs before school and between place as well as after work. Fridays through Sunday I don't work until evening so I can spend all day taking care of your pets. I won't be able to host due to living in an apartment. I will play with your dogs including just running around the yard with them if you have one. Make sure they are properly fed and always have plenty of water. And of course make sure they get snuggles if they want to.
About: I have a passion for high-frequency experiences and environments as well as spreading positive energy wherever I go! Because animals are naturally more connected to existential energies, I find that spending time with them helps keep my frequency high and I can be of better service to the Collective! They have so much to teach us when we tune in... As owner of my previous pet sitting business, daily responsibilities included scheduling client visits, creating/sending invoices, walking/playing with dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, and personalities, as well as other types of interesting creatures, cleaning up after them, feeding them, overhauling litter boxes, occasionally administering medications, and regularly communicating with clients regarding daily visits with their pet(s). When clients were away, I spent the night in their home with their pet(s), took out/brought in trash cans, mail, packages, alternated lights in the home, watered plants, gave the appearance that the home was occupied to increase security, and anything else asked of me within reason. Let me know what you need and we can work together to create a mutually beneficial plan! I look forward to meeting you and spending time with your furry family members! I will stay in your home with your pets where they are comfortable and familiar. All instructions will be followed regarding the safety of your pet(s) and I will be in contact immediately should anything unexpected occur.
About: I was raised on a farm where I was blessed to have many farm animals and 5 dogs! I really do have a passion for them! I left my job as an ambulance dispatcher because it wasn’t what I loved to do. I’m willing to give up all my time and dedicate it to pursuing the happiness of your fur babies! I am not yet accepting the service option in which I can bring your babies to my home but being a house sitter I would respect your home and your baby, making sure nothing is misplaced or damaged!
“Robert has been more than amazing with my two dogs. One of them has some aggression he’s been working with her on. The other has endless energy he is plays ball with and wears out. He’a always reliable and goes above and beyond each time. I work 12 hours shifts so it’s such a relief to come home to happy relaxed dogs. Can not say enough positive things. Thank you for everything ☺️”
About: Throughout high school, I would watch many of my neighbors dogs routinely. I also have done housesitting for my friend and his cat in more recent years Taking care of a pet is a big responsibility. Whatever schedule the pet needs, I adhere to and base my schedule around that. I am flexible and willing to work with you Caring for someone else's pets, to me, is about learning their habits. Rather than coming in with my own way of doing things, I try to follow the owner's instructions because animals like routine and dependability.
About: I grew up with at least 3 dogs and 5 cats since I’ve been 12. As a pet friend I’ve experienced it all from joy, plays, births, teens, fights, diet, sickness and and even final goodbyes; I am your person. I’m currently working as an Uber driver and trying to go back to college so I’m available all day every day! Just text me :) ! I currently live in an apartment building so my cat do not goes outside but has plenty of toys, towers and scratch pads to stimulate her!(even looking for a baby kitten for her). As someone that grew up with both both and cats, I also can stop fights and help with diet l

“Debbie took great care of my fur baby. I appreciated that she accepted on short notice. It was a short stay but it was nice knowing Zipper was in good hands”
“Joshua is great. He's a natural with dogs, and it's obvious he loves them! I HIGHLY recommend Joshua and his home for extended boarding. He has a very large yard for play, and the dogs love it! I travel a lot, and I will be using Joshua every time. My puppy, Mocha, made a new friend with Joshua's dog, Blitzen. Immediately, they became friends and were inseparable for seven days. Thank you, Joshua!!! My wife and I are very grateful for the care you gave Mocha!!!”
“My biggest grudge is when someone expresses when they only gave one star " cuz they couldn't give any less"... When do we support local business and recognize our community for the good that surrounds us? !!! Recognize beauty people!!!!! This man is the real thing; a dog whisperer through and through. Incredibly kind, greeting my pup with a treat at first meet. Communication is HUGE for me. Pics were shared - almost immediately - and direct messages were alleviating. We all want to know our loved ones are in the best care. Michael is communicative, engaging with the guests, and truly, one of a kind. I'd book him immediately, if he doesn't forget my little girl...”
“Onrae and his family took great care of our dogs at his place while we were out of town. We received photos and updates daily. One of our dogs needed socialization and obedience training and that was done at extra expense, since he is also a dog trainer by appointment. We would be happy to use his services again!”
“Emily and her family were absolutely wonderful with Mr. Elwood. She was incredibly communicative, providing daily photos and status updates that kept my mind at ease. When Mr. Elwood faced some minor challenges, Emily handled them with grace and expertise, ensuring he remained safe and happy throughout. I’m so grateful for their support during my business travels. Highly recommended!”
“Lorenzo is great with my dogs. My boys are lowkey annoying and very energetic and they always come home tired! They are also always excited when I drop them off and that makes me happy. I will for sure keep using Lorenzo.”
“This is the second time we leave Tessa with Wendy and it was also a great experience. Wendy is very communicative and sends lots of pics of Tessa enjoying with her and her kids. She also takes Tessa to dog parks and on walks so she can get her exercise. We recommend her :)”
“Holly and Robert’s place is the best! They are super attentive to all dogs under their care and treat each dog like a member of their family. They are major dog lovers and take the time to learn about your dog before boarding. They are very knowledgeable about dogs and I felt super safe leaving my dog in their hands. My dog had a 15 night stay at their place and he had the best time- he even made a new friend! We were provided photos and updates every day. It truly felt like I was leaving my dog in the trusted hands of a family member!”
“Our dogs had so much fun at Miranda’s house! We got pictures and videos to see what they were up to throughout our stay. We will definitely rebook with Miranda again!”
“I absolute loved her! She made me feel so comfortable with my two small babies. She gave me constant updates and pictures of them everyday. I appreciate her making it easy for me to leave my babies for a whole week! Thanks again”
“Sofie was the best! From our first communications, to the met and greet, to the end of the stay, she was flexible and friendly. I had no reservations about leaving our dog with her. She sent pictures everyday with a little update that confirmed she knew our dogs habits. Would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again myself!”
“Jamie did an excellent job dog-sitting! She was very communicative, kind, and responsible. She took excellent care of our dog and we would use her again and recommend her highly.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our puppy. They provided excellent care, kept us updated, and made sure our puppy felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. It was clear that they genuinely cared and treated our puppy like one of their own. We came home to a happy, healthy pup and would absolutely trust them again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Benjamin was AMAZING! He took care of our 3 dogs (including a puppy) and they couldn’t seem happier in their photos! He was very communicative with us while we were out of town and we never went a day without hearing about what they were up to! We appreciated such great communication while traveling. This was our first big trip away from the puppy and he made her feel extremely comfortable! Would recommend using Ben’s services! We will be using him again in the future.”
